wonderful story

Tailchaiser's Song was a wonderfully written story. The minute you start to read- the characters come to life and you want to read it in one sitting, but are sad to end the story. Wish there was a part 2.

Not bad...not great either

I first picked up Tailchaser's Song back in the early 90s. I've recently re-read it and decided to post a review. The idea behind the book was well thought out, however some of the characters seemed to lack a bit of depth - and development (example: for some strange reason Pouncequick stayed a kitten throughout the entire length of the novel, even though it apparently several months from start to finish and Tailchaser himself was only 9 months old at the start). It is temping to compare this to Watership Down, but other than the anthropomorphism there are few similarities. Whereas Watership Down uses familiar animals both as the heros and the protagonists, Williams creates a whole new creature as his "bad guys". Its not a bad freshman effort from Tad Williams though as others posted his later works were much better.

MEOW!

What a great book! At first I was a bit weirded out by the creepy underground devil-cats, but the more I read about Tailchaser's plight, the more I came to believe in their terrifying underworld. It's a brilliant fantasy story with a fun and unexpected twist at the end.

You don't have to love cats to enjoy this book, but it helps.

Great read

I really enjoyed this book. It's written in a way that makes a cat seem more of a different sort of intellectual being rather than a 4-legged human. The ending leaves me wondering if Tailchasers Song is really just the beginning of a series, which I really do hope since I found myself being really sympathetic for the protagonist and his friends.

Fifteen years ago, a young author surprised and enchanted readers with his first novel-the story of Fritti Tailchaser, a courageous tom cat in a world of whiskery heroes and villains, of feline gods and strange, furless creatures called M'an.

The book was Tailchaser's Song, the author was Tad Williams.

The legend was born.
